Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2023/24

[Essential10]

Portimonense SC and SC Farense face each other in today's Portugal Primeria League match. Portimonense is 16th in the table while SC Farense is seventh in the points table standing. Portimonense SC have lost their rhythm, winless in their last five matches in the domestic league. SC Farense the new year well with a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente FC, where their goalkeeper was a superb performer. As Portimonense are playing at home I feel the match will be tightly contested and my prediction is that it will be a likely draw.

As Portimonense are playing at home I feel the match will be tightly contested and my prediction is that it will be a likely draw.

Portimonense is having a bad season, I think the match against Farense will not go according to their expectations in achieving victory, because Portimonense is not very stable, even though this match is a home match, this is not a guarantee that Portimonense will win, their home match cannot be expected completely, even though in the last 5 meetings between the two Portimonense have dominated the victory, their position in the standings table shows that Portimonense is not in good form and Ferense's position is much better in 7th place so maybe I will favor Ferense more in winning, but it could be The prediction is that as you said, the match will end in a draw knowing that both of them have been less stable lately.

Do you think that Porto would lose points against Braga? Porto are hosting them two days later and of course they are the favourite side of the match. If you don't remember I would like to remind that their previous match ended up with Porto's 2-0 victory away.    Technically Porto should be able to be at least as dominant as that in this match home.

The problem for Porto is that they aren't much productive.    They have scored only 23 goals in 16 matches. Maybe this has been enough for them so far to keep up with the title race. But it is quite dangerous at the same time. They would make use of a much higher contribution from their strikers especially. Taremi isn't performing as good as the previous season which is also a big factor causing this now.

In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the European cups too.

 Benfica did well at securing the three points in their last game with a good goal margin. It only shows how set they are for the task put before them. Although a lesser performance wasn't expected from them though but they're definitely a stable team in the league. The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

Sporting clube de Portugal Vs Chaves
Chaves and Sporting CP face off at Manuel Branco Teixeira today. Top of the points table is Spotting CP and bottom is Chaves. Chaves draw 2-2 with FC Famalicao last week after three straight defeats. If they want to climb up the points table, they need to improve their defensive process. Sporting CP have won big in the two games they have played at the beginning of the new year. I don't think Chaves will have much of an advantage in this match. Undoubtedly, the favorite team in today's match is Sporting de Portugal. I think today's match high scoring will be Sporting clube de Portugal beat Chaves 3-1.

I think today's match high scoring will be Sporting clube de Portugal beat Chaves 3-1.

You almost got it right hehe, the game ended 3x0 to Sporting
If you bet on the exact result, unfortunately you didn't win the bet 

I believe Benfica will have no problem beating Rio Ave to guarantee 2 out of the 3 I have to get right to win my multiple bet

The Porto x Braga match promises to be very exciting and I'm glad it's being broadcast on Star+ so I can watch (suffer if Porto don't win )
If Porto lose the game, Sporting will be 8 points ahead, so I think it's extra motivation for today's game, it's hard to take away that 8-point gap over the course of the championship

Porto had a very easy victory in that game, I had a lot of doubts about whether or not I should bet on Porto and given the amount of indecision that was going through my head I ended up deciding not to put Porto in my parlay, but I was very surprised by With this result, I expected it to be a game in which Braga would be able to cause a lot of headaches for Porto, I expected it to be a very balanced game. but it seems that Porto in this game came with too much force for Braga to handle. Congratulations to Porto for the victory in a game that was supposed to be a difficult game, with this victory Porto continues in the race for the title and knowing that in the Portuguese league as long as we don't see a big difference between the top team in relation to Porto, we won't be can rule out Porto as likely champion


Chaves 0 - 3 Sporting CP

In the last 3 games Sporting's attack is unstoppable, very often they have managed to score at least 3 goals, in this game they managed to score 3 goals and didn't concede a single goal, with this victory Sporting remains at the top of the table, I keep asking myself Whether this season they won the league or will waste this good opportunity. Be that as it may, they are having strong competition, with Benfica being very close to them so that a small mistake would cause them to lose the top spot and consequently lose the title. We'll see how long Sporting can stay at the top, I bet on Sporting to win, I put them in my multi bet and with their victory they gave me a good profit



Benfica 4 - 1 Rio Ave

As expected from Benfica, they won very easily, I watched this game and was a little worried when the opponent scored the first goal, but given the pressure that Benfica's attack was putting on, I was hopeful that Benfica would score more goals any time, so when Benfica scored a goal it made me feel more at ease that my bet wouldn't be lost, and when Benfica scored more goals I soon stopped watching the game because I saw that they had already won the game and that there was no chance of the opponent reversing That result, congratulations to Benfica and may we become champions this season.

Congratulations on the winning bet 
Even without Porto in your bet, it must have given good odds (can you tell what the total odds of your bet were?)

Here I also won the bet including Porto, and although it was more risky, I was really confident that Porto would win due to the current conditions (Portuguese Cup matches, Braga and Porto's momentum and league positions)
It was a good win to increase my bankroll this season 

[Jossque]

Benfica is taking care not to open the point difference between itself and its rival in the championship race.Benfica managed to defeat Rio Ave despite falling behind in the match and scored 3 points.Benfica played a good game in the match, especially after the opponent was down to 10 men, Benfica completely took the upper hand and had no difficulty in finding goals from this minute.
Porto, on the other hand, emerged victorious from a tough match against Braga.Porto, who led at half time, managed to convert the penalty they won at the beginning of the second half with Evanilson and left this tough match with 3 points.Braga didn't play badly but I don't think they had a chance to win in this away match.

Didn't included Porto in any of my parlays, went simply with their ML, but bet was quite big. Their win was very comfortable that I can't even say something about the game. Though, their dominance doesn't reflect in stats at all.
So, we already reached half of season, Sporting leading with 43 points, then Benfica with 42 and Porto with 38. Unlike in some previous seasons, this time we don't have clear favorite to win league, even Portvstill hold fairly good chances.

Not including Porto in Parlay betting is a natural thing because it is too risky because matches between 2 top clubs sometimes make it difficult for us to predict, the match between Porto vs Braga is a match that is not easy but Porto was able to win it with a score of 2:0 and that was a win which is very good considering that Braga is not an easy club to beat, but because this match is a match at Porto's home ground, it is only natural that Porto will try as hard as possible to get full points.

Between the top three clubs there is a small difference in points so the title race is still wide open but Sporting CP will not let its ranking be shifted because Sporting CP wants to win the Portuguese League title as well as secure a place so they can compete in the Champions League next season where last season Sporting CP failed to secure it.

Below is the result of the last round, of the first round of the Portuguese League:

Wow, that was fast, half the championship has already passed 

It's not what I expected. I thought Porto would be better, maybe even in the lead, along with Benfica
Sporting I'd bet would be in 3rd place, with Braga behind 1 or 2 points

No prediction I made at the start of the championship is valid for this moment hehehe, but it could still happen by the end of the championship
I remember last year when Benfica were absolute leader with more than 10 points od advantage and in a few games Porto came VERY close

There are Sporting and Braga matches tomorrow, so I'm going to place my bets

I believe that Benfica will do better in a second round of the championship. Despite the problems they had at the beginning, they are now more stable and will probably start to have better results without major difficulties.

I think Porto is still very unstable, and Sporting continues to play very well, if they don't lose key players they will continue to do well.

Famalicao Vs Braga
FC Famalicao also returned to winning ways after defeating Casa Pia 2-0 as they went winless in their last five matches. Meanwhile, Braga is going through a tough time. Braga's last three matches were against three teams in the top five of the points table, with  losing against Benfica and FC Porto and only drawing against Vitoria Guimaraes. Both Braga and Famalicao have no chance of trailing any team in the head-to-head statistics of the last few matches. Since the match will be in Famalicao I think today will be competitive. My prediction is that both teams will score and likely draw.

[Slow death]

...
We'll see how long Sporting can stay at the top, I bet on Sporting to win, I put them in my multi bet and with their victory they gave me a good profit
...

Congratulations on the winning bet 
Even without Porto in your bet, it must have given good odds (can you tell what the total odds of your bet were?)

Here I also won the bet including Porto, and although it was more risky, I was really confident that Porto would win due to the current conditions (Portuguese Cup matches, Braga and Porto's momentum and league positions)
It was a good win to increase my bankroll this season 

the odds were @5.00, it gave me a good profit, but I could have made more profit if I had added more games that were good games, but as I felt excited I preferred not to include certain games, as was the case with the port that I didn't include. Porto still doesn't inspire much confidence in me, even for this round I didn't include Porto in my two multibet bets, I chose to just put Benfica and Sporting again. I confess that in my multibet bet I placed Sporting and Benfica. I'm worried about Sporting's game against Vizela, which despite being at the bottom of the table and in the last 5 games Vizela hasn't managed to win in any game, they still had 3 draws in the last 5 games, which makes me a little worried.



I know that Sporting's attack has been excellent in the last few games, to the point of at least scoring 2 goals, but when a great team plays against a team that is in a desperate situation where they need to win at all costs, then it's always problematic to play. against teams in this desperate situation, especially when they are in the relegation zone, but even so I decided to put Sporting in my multibet bet. About Benfica's game against Boavista, I see Benfica winning this game. Boavista has not been doing well in the last 5 games, although in its last game it managed to win. I must say that the odd value of my multibet bet is @2.00, it is not as big as I wanted, even so I chose the games that I believe to be safer. I made another multibet bet to offset this one with odds of 2.00, I'll see if I make a profit in this round

[hahay]

Famalicao Vs Braga
FC Famalicao also returned to winning ways after defeating Casa Pia 2-0 as they went winless in their last five matches. Meanwhile, Braga is going through a tough time. Braga's last three matches were against three teams in the top five of the points table, with  losing against Benfica and FC Porto and only drawing against Vitoria Guimaraes. Both Braga and Famalicao have no chance of trailing any team in the head-to-head statistics of the last few matches. Since the match will be in Famalicao I think today will be competitive. My prediction is that both teams will score and likely draw.

Yes indeed, although Braga is still in the top four in the standings but at least, there is no definite guarantee for Braga to be able to beat Famalicao in this match. Because anyway, based on head to head records also that they more often get a draw even though indeed, at least Braga still has a good winning record also against Famalicao. Therefore, I also agree that both teams to score goals in this match are likely to happen. But yes, at least Braga still has a chance to win but it's still not certain, considering that Braga has a good away match record so far this season.
